Definitions

1. A small, oval window is opened in the bone exposed.

Round Window

1. The sudden increase in pressure of the endolymph can rupture the round window and also the oval window.

Inner Ear

1. Middle Ear The middle ear is a small, air-filled pocket bounded by the eardrum on one side and the oval window of the inner ear on the other.

Tympanic Membrane

1. The movement of the tympanic membrane is transferred through three small bones to move a membrane of the inner ear, the oval window. (Web site)
2. These bones form the linkage between the tympanic membrane and the oval window that leads to the inner ear. (Web site)

Cochlea

1. The middle ear is the portion of the ear internal to the eardrum, and external to the oval window of the cochlea. (Web site)
2. When the stapes footplate pushes on the oval window, it causes movement of fluid within the cochlea (a portion of the inner ear).

Stapes

1. Stapes (stirrup): The stapes, or stirrup, transmits the sound vibrations from the Incus to the oval window. (Web site)
2. The abnormal bone growth fixates the stapes onto the oval window, preventing sound passing waves from traveling to the cochlea. (Web site)
3. The fluid in the top-most tube in Figure 2 is set in motion by the piston-like movements of the stapes on the oval window.

Oval Window

1. Vibrations of the eardrum pass along the three bones of the middle ear, with the base of the stapes then rocking the oval window in and out.
2. Labeled structures include the external auditory canal, the tympanic membrane, malleus, incus, stapes, oval window and mandible. (Web site)
3. The stapes transfers the vibrations of the incus to the oval window, a portion of the inner ear to which it is connected. (Web site)
